It's not psychological. I can't speak fluently even when talking to myself. Certain words are physically impossible for me to say, unless I artificially modify the pronunciation (like adding a vowel at the beginning). I don't have social anxiety. I just can't speak. People who don't understand what stuttering is should shut up and refrain from giving advice.
